[x] I would like to be assigned this issue to work on it
1. Description of the Bug:
Using the parameter name favorite_hash instead of favorite_list would leave the least amount of room for ambiguity.
It's not obvious that favorite_list is meant to be a hash, as opposed to a list of hashes.
It's also unclear because the first method to be implemented is called create_favorite_hash(), not create_favorite_list().
Everything was clear once I checked hash_exercises_spec.rb. But from the perspective of someone who is brand new to programming and doesn't necessarily understand how to read a test file, this may not be obvious.
(I do recognize that this is more of an opinion than a bug, as someone who is more familiar with Python and thinks of arrays as lists, and hashes as dictionaries.)
2. How To Reproduce:
Open ruby_basics/7_hashes/exercises/hash_exercises.rb.
3. Expected Behavior:
I would have expected the method argument to be named favorite_hash if the expected input is to be a hash.
